Wicked Lake DVD Review

 

The Flick

Wicked Lake opened up strong, with Ilene (Robin Sydney) posing nude for an art class, and she looks great in her birthday suit.  In fact every girl in this flick is unbelievably hot, and they all spend most of the movie’s runtime in various stages of undress (a good part of that time completely nude). I can’t fault the filmmakers for making a film that focuses much of its resources on four stupid hot girls that spend most of their free time naked, engaged in lesbian sex orgies that grant them supernatural powers.  Hallelujah!  I guess I’m just your typical guy, but these filmmakers had me at the naked girl.  

Basically the story follows the aforementioned hot girls on a fun trip to a cabin in the woods for a little lesbian sex, wine, and witchcraft, but their fun is soon spoiled by a family of morons.  Burgeoning art student Caleb (Marc Senter) is instantly smitten with Ilene and decides to tell his freaky family about her cabin getaway.  So Caleb and his family head out to the woods with a dull hunting knife, and decide to force the girls to have sex with them.  Only this doesn’t work out exactly like they planed, because at the stroke of midnight the girls become super witch bitches that enjoy killing men slowly.  

This little flick reminded me of the old films I used to watch on Skinamax when I was a kid.  I’d sneak into the living room when everyone was asleep, turn on the boob-tube with the volume really low, and watch all the really bad skin flicks that ruled late night cable.  Like those late night treats Wicked Lake was fun, had lots of naked girl goodness, and to my surprise the acting was pretty impressive as well.  All of the girls were pretty solid, especially Carlee Barker who played Mary in the flick.  Also, Jack Deth hemself, Tim Thomerson, was funny as the cop in charge of investigating the hotties.  The flick has the standard problems that come with low budget flicks, pacing, lighting, plot holes, etc.  But overall the flick is a lot of fun for anyone that likes naked girls with their blood and guts, and the there is plenty of the red stuff flowing in this nasty little horror nugget.  Wicked Lake was a killer (skin) film!

The DVD

Audio/Video: The audio was loud and clear and features a score by Ministry’s Al Jourgensen.  Sometimes it doesn’t quite fit, but it rocked none-the-less.  The video was crisp and looked really good for a low budget T&A horror movie.  

 

Special Features: 

Audio Commentary:  This track features the director and various cast members and was sorta fun, but mostly just an excuse to watch the girls rock the screen with their hot bods.  

Deleted Scenes: There are a few deleted scenes that were cool to watch, but I understood why they weren’t included in the final cut of the flick.  

Trailer/Gallery:  The prerequisite trailer and still gallery are on here as well.  The trailer I had seen before, but the pics were pretty cool.
